I just wish more manufacturers would just go mainline Klipper and Orca Slicer and just let the community handle the software and focus on making the best hardware.

@eaman11 2 месяца назад

They have to drop those awful customized user interfaces and do standard Klipperscreen. Sovol does that.

Qidi Slicer is actually pretty nice and actually up to date unlike Klipper on the machine, and I don’t like Orca, it feels more clumsy and slow. I now exclusively use Qidi Slicer.

That is why I preordered the sovol sv08. I thought it was strange people were complaining that they were shipping with a pretty bare bones klipper cfg.

I am grateful you did a balanced review and did not whine and complain like some others do. Yes no printer is perfect but for the most part there is a lot to like with these new core xy printers. They are much better than what we had a few years ago. Some of these RU-vid channels are so negative about things that most people don't care about. And some just do it for views and will say the opposite of what others say about a printer. Keep up the good work.

@goeland86 2 месяца назад

2 things: - Dirty klipper repo just means there are uncommitted files in the folder. This could be happening in mainline as well if you modified the MCU configuration without committing them locally. So I don't know that that's a custom fork running. You'd need to check with "git remote get-url origin" to confirm it. - The drift on z that you were seeing for your first layer could be attributed to thermal drift on the inductive probe. If it's not a higher quality unit, there is no (or poor) thermal compensation accounting for it. That would mean that you'd get inconsistent z probe measurements when the chamber is hot, as opposed to when you had it cool off.

@kilianlindlbauer8277 2 месяца назад

Qidi uses the inductive probe for leveling due to speed. There is a team implementing load cells into klipper for direct force readout (actual force, not just converted into a trigger signal like a cr6 or similar), probe speed and standard deviation are inverse to each outer, meaning twice the probe speed, half the accuracy. To get to klicky like repeatability they had to probe around 3mm/s or, while klicky and most other probes aren't nearly as much affected by probe speed. This would result in a agonisingly slow mesh, like you would have on very basic abl implementations for marlin printers from 4 years ago

Klipper saying dirty can just mean shell scripts are installed

@3dpathfinder 2 месяца назад

I had issues with the config for the control board fan being set to .6 which caused the printer to lock up during use of the chamber heater. After support told me to set the config to 1 the printer is not locking up anymore. I have also updated the firmware twice to now the latest. All my abs prints and silk and pla have had the best first layers ive every seen. It may be the fact that yours may have a older firmware. This printer prints abs like and absolute champ and there is a riser file for the top, as i got the same scuffing but will try to polish it out. NeeditMakeit has several upgrades to print for the machine on Maker World.

@bp8__163 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the review! I happened to order mine on release day, and got mine 03/23/24. It was pretty great out of the box, but 2 big issues became obvious. First, belt tensioning system sucks. Constant ringing no matter what I do. Qidi support and I have 30+ emails going back and forth trying to figure it out. Can’t seem to fix it. The second issue is that my hot end decided to die. Doesn’t heat anymore. I then am currently in the process of returning it, but the printer won’t export log files to the USB drive so they are going to charge me return shipping. It has been a real bummer because I was so excited about this printer.

@eaman11 2 месяца назад

FYI: klipper 0.10.0 instead 0.12.0 No Klipperscreen Armbian Buster instead Bookworm Python 2.7 instead 3.12 And all the outdated software that comes with this (fluidd, moonraker, etc.) The disk comes prefilled with a lot of unnecessary things. ~5-7GB are used of the 8GB EMMC disk. This means that additional features or even some GCODE files will fill your disk space entirely. You can't install any actual plugin due to the firmware being outdated.

@stew675 2 месяца назад

While it does have Python 2.7, it does come shipped with Python 3.7.3 as stock as well. You just need to use /usr/bin/python3 instead of just python. I ported modern Klippain Shaketune to the stock Qidi OS/install just fine. Most of the "unneccesary things" is actually a full c/c++ development environment. If you don't plan to compile c/c++ directly on the printer, then you can remove those packages.

@SolaAesir 2 месяца назад

I get that induction probes are fast, but they have so many drawbacks like this, I'll never understand why they're standard now. You can pre-calibrate bed meshes for every temperature setting at much higher densities than you'd ever print with in Klipper, then just load and go based on the bed temperature used in the print. It doesn't really matter how fast your probe is then, install the one on that will give your users good, consistent results.

@somhunt5446 2 месяца назад

Never had an issue with adhesion or Z offset issues. That being said I do preheat soak the bed before meshing. For materials that require elevated chamber temperatures, I let the item cool to room temp before opening the door. These are just old habits that work for me and the Q1 Pro.

@RocktCityTim 2 месяца назад

Even on my open printers I let the bed cool to the touch (usually around 30Cor so) before removing prints. With my SV07 Plus, I manually start a cooldown pass so that the aux fan runs across the bed if I'm being impatient.

Does the Q1 Pro have the 6mm aluminum print bed as the Xmax 3 or did they thin it down?

@mastermaker666 2 месяца назад

Rapid change of temp tends to create greater and more unpredictable warping of materials, same as with quenching a knife blade in water vs oil. Water cools down things so fast that it increases stresses in the material and increases chances of cracking and warping, the oil is only marginally slower but it makes a huge difference. Those 15 minutes of wait to cool down vs the thermal shock of immediately introducing cooler air is probably the same thing, makes things happen a bit too fast and introducing unpredictable warping making tweaking of first layer needed every time...

@SirLANsalot 2 месяца назад

thing is, for about 300 bucks more you can get a pre-built voron 2.4 350 from Sovol, the SV08, and yes I do mean the enclosed version which is running at 700 bucks. As that version of the SV08 is, technically, a 2.4 at that point being fully enclosed, as you would have with any 2.4 kit. (Note: Quite nice that Sovol went with Canbus on it too). Also, thank God that Sovol did run vanilla Klipper on this and not their own "version", very annoying for manufacturers to do this and very very very stupid. With vanilla klipper you can do a lot of modding and tuning, much easier then trying to fumble around XX's version.

@kerwalker4246 2 месяца назад

@@JMS7410- no all is as reviewer version other than the storage. They do provide updated print files for 110/240V heater safety cover and I guess that’s their way of getting round the possible electrical issue that to be fair is a non issue in reality. But it’s not the easiest by any means to print. ASA CF, PA or FR materials need supports but the slats on the print are so fine they break when removing the supports. I got a more suitable file online that prints no problem. Firmware has changed twice since I received the unit and it’s far more stable and I’m sure solves the bed/nozzle slamming scenario. I really don’t see them changing say the door as that’s just such a petty complaint considering it does have the “handle” recess at the bottom and to be fair it works. Why would they change it for a few reviewers wanting a “traditional handle” that they deem normal? There are a couple of minor niggles but they are minor and to date most are solvable with prints and software changes. It’s a great unit and worth the price for its capabilities. Hope this helps.

Enough said basically on that matter. Chamber heater - they now provide a file to print a guard so I’m sure that’s the only solution to a fairly non issue in the first place. Firmware has changed twice and appears to resolve what issues some faced. Overall they have addressed some minor issues fairly quickly and so far after a month of use it works well, in fact extremely well for the price. You won’t regret it I’m sure.

@SolaAesir 2 месяца назад

@@olafmarzocchi6194 It depends on the size and shape of the prints you're doing. It helps a lot with warping, layer adhesion, and bed adhesion. Even the extra 10-15C a heated Qidi maxes out at (65C for most of their line) makes a big difference as you're almost double the heat over room temperature compared to 50C. If you're printing small (smaller than a fist), fairly thick walled but not solid parts that are designed for 3D printing (e.g. no sharp corners), you'll be fine with pretty much anything with an enclosure. Voron parts are a good example. If you're trying to print something larger with thin walls or that is fairly solid, you want as much heat as you can get (ideally 90-100C) and every degree makes things easier. Get any hotter than 60-65C and you start needing to move steppers, fans, and electronics out of the enclosure (or bring in outside cooling) though, so it tends to be the cutoff for printers not designed for active heating and higher temperatures from the start.

@SolaAesir 2 месяца назад

@@olafmarzocchi6194 Small parts (size of a fist or maybe two fists), well designed for 3D printing, you can get by with just a good enclosure passively heated. If you want to print larger parts or parts with thin sections or sharp edges and then you really need an active heater. Every degree of heating you can get helps a lot making those tricky parts print successfully without warping. Ideally you want a printer that can do a 90-100C chamber but that requires a custom built printer designed with that in mind (not a Voron).

I just received my X max 3 a couple days ago and I am begging to regret my decision to get it. Was very excited waiting for it to show up and couldn't wait to unbox it. It has turned into a 1000 dollar paper weight that could have been avoided if somewhere I had been instructed never to update it. After plugging in my camera, Fluidd notified me for updates to Klipper, Fluidd, and Moonraker and of course I clicked on update all. Very bad decision cause printer does not work now and been waiting for 2 days on replay from Qidi support only thing I've got back so far is we need proof of purchase and you are not suppose to update anything due to their modified versions of firmware and software that works only with this printer. I did not get to print anything yet, but hopefully once I get help from them in the near future fingers cross it will work great cause I would hate to send it back and get a bambu :( without even seeing for myself what it can do. Starting to think I made a bad decision going with QIDI.

@lucasaltenau 2 месяца назад

That looks like a cheap bambulab clone. From the design to the packaging, it really is a 1:1 copy, where expensive parts have been replaced with cheap ones. Not sure if that printer is a good investment, especially when a P1P/P1S isn't much more expensive. I think they installed an inductive probe, because they couldn't get the other sensor working well enough. (See the hundreds of pages on Klipper Discourse about getting this implemented and all the problems people have with their K1 and leveling)

@jerrymk6846 2 месяца назад

First off, that is not a load cell, but a piezoelectric sensor. I do not encounter thermal drift problems, maybe just preheat the printer, it is extremely quick compared to other printers. The nozzle is not used for the mesh, because it is significantly worse in accuracy, the inductive probe is a lot better. The nozzle probe is good enough for getting a nozzle offset or even the bed mesh, but the inductive probe is more accurate in other regards, no reason not to use it. So in conclusion, the piezo nozzle contact probe on the bed is only for the Z offset. Here are my results of probe accuracy: nozzle probe: range 0.041718 stddev: 0.013429 inductive probe: range 0.007344 stddev: 0.002062 Now another problem is that, why is the piezo nozzle probe not as accurate as one would expect? Well, I don’t know, but I do hope it was better. Slowing probing speed down could lead to the piezo not generating enough voltage to trigger, so that’s not a solution. I guess we’ll just have to accept it.
